Good Faith Media: Global Christian Population to reach 3.3 BN by 2050.

[Nishant Xavier]

Revised and Updated:

"The World's 10 BN Souls will probably look like this in 2050:

1. Christianity far ahead ruling the field and owning the game at 4 BN.
2. Islam in 2nd place at around 3.3 BN. [+300 MN to Muslims, as they seem to be growing fastest]
3. Hinduism in 3rd place at 1.6 BN. [+100 MN here]

That already accounts for 8.9 BN or about 89% of the expected World's Population at the time.

4. Buddhism and the World's Folk Religions at around 1 BN.
5. Atheism at around 100 MN [-400 MN] or less. Let's hope that Militant Atheism - a fringe of a fringe that believes God not only does not exist but also, absurdly, that it is allegedly EVIL to believe that He does, which is itself Evil on their part - will be 10 MN or less.

If Christ and, say, Darwin or Marx were running for King of the Universe, Christ would be owning and Darwin/Marx losing badly."

Rough Stats, to be sure, but if anyone has a better estimate, and reasons why, I'm all ears.

Atheism is going to Lose. If this were a Presidential Election, its fate would be considered almost dead certain already. Not immediately, to be sure. But in 25 odd years.

Thought doxing and so on was Forbidden by the Rules.

Yeah, I got banned from a trad forum, mainly for Criticizing Sede-Vacantism. I doubt most Atheists know what that is, so I won't go into it here.

Now, in the other thread, I read and shared a source that there are something like - what was it - 170 MN or so - Atheists in the world, far less than I thought. In light of that, I need to update/revise some of my projections/predictions for World Religious Demographics 2050 that I made on the First Page.

Let me get the data and then do that.

Sedevacantism is a doctrine within conservative Catholicism that maintains that the current occupant of the Holy See is invalid as pope because he adheres to one or more heresies and that the See of Rome is vacant since there is no lawful pope.

You fail again

You also attacked a woman on there calling her "wicked".

Anyway, Would you like a list (1000+) of Republican sex crimes against children? or are you done with the edgelord buzzwords?

Thoughts and prayers, RAmen

I debate and discuss decently and politely with all who do the same to me, just as I do in real life when I proclaim the Gospel. I would like to post on the Internet no differently than I speak to a person face to face IRL, but some just won't do that to me. They'll call me all sorts of names. Then, I too lose my temper some times, though I'd prefer not to.

Yup, you got what SVism is correct. I've written an article on its Theological Refutation. It's a hopeless crazy theory that there's been no Pope for 65+years.

It can be refuted Theologically from Vatican I Dogma on St. Peter's Perpetual Successors.

[Nishant Xavier]

Why on Earth would I care what some US Republicans allegedly did or did not do. If they are pedophiles, I condemn all those Republican pedophiles also.

[Nishant Xavier]

Do you condemn those trying to normalize pedophiles by calling it MAP: Minor Attracted Person?

In regard to the doxxing remark. Typing Nishant Xavier into any search engine pulls you up. If you want to hide, you try a different user name. Several have been offered here as alternatives for you. I'm fond of Nishy Washy.

See here from what I think is a liberal source:

"Their influence is being felt still within the echelons of academia and now echoed in the thoughtless slurs of musicians. Those of us who campaign to end the sexual abuse of children do not point the finger at gay men as likely perpetrators, despite Billy Bragg accusing me of doing so. I lived through the Eighties when it was a regular occurrence for lesbians to lose custody of their children, usually to violent ex-husbands, because we were considered to be sexual perverts and dangerous for children to be around.

It is clearly an abhorrence to suggest that gay men, by virtue of being same sex attracted, are a danger to boys. But our defence of gay men from prejudice and bigotry must not act as a smokescreen for those groups that are seeking to normalise sex with children. And this is why including so-called MAPs as part of the rainbow flag would be a disaster."

Here's the post and it needs some reworking and updating in light of this more specific data:

"The World's 10 BN Souls will probably look like this in 2050:

1. Christianity far ahead ruling the field and owning the game at 4 BN.
2. Islam in 2nd place at around 3 BN.
3. Hinduism in 3rd place at 1.5 BN.

That already accounts for 8.5 BN or about 85% of the expected World's Population at the time.

4. Buddhism and the World's Folk Religions at around 1 BN.
5. Atheism at around 500 MN or less. Let's hope that Militant Atheism - a fringe of a fringe that believes God not only does not exist but also, absurdly, that it is allegedly EVIL to believe that He does, which is itself Evil on their part - will be 50 MN or less.

If Christ and, say, Darwin or Marx were running for King of the Universe, Christ would be owning and Darwin/Marx losing badly."

As usual ... lying for Jebus.

Fair enough, AWTY. Thank you.

If so, I'll just share the Theological Refutation of SVism I wrote. Warning: Highly Technical Theological Arguments. From: https://onepeterfive.com/sedevacantists-...hout-pope/

"Point III: Ordinary Jurisdiction Cannot Cease in the Whole Church.

This is a logical consequence of the two points discussed above. It follows as a syllogism also:

Major: The Church cannot cease to be apostolic (as we profess in the Creed).
Minor: But ordinary jurisdiction is necessary for apostolicity (as proved above).
Conclusion: Hence, ordinary jurisdiction cannot cease in the whole Church.

As the Church of Christ cannot cease to be apostolic, so she cannot cease to have at least some bishops who are formal and full successors of the apostles. In this way, she retains the note of apostolicity as a permanent mark by which she can be distinguished from all breakaway sects...

Sedevacantists deserve at least the same charity and courtesy shown to Protestants. Perhaps many sedevacantists are only in a material schism, earnestly not intending to be in schism.

But it is impossible to deny that sedevacantism, objectively and as such, constitutes a grave error. The simplest way to see this is to ask, “(1) How long can an interregnum last? (2) Is an interregnum indefinitely extended (e.g., 100-plus years) even possible?” Clearly not. There surely is a limit.

If saying an indefinite vacancy of St. Peter’s throne is possible, then the dogma that St. Peter must have perpetual successors in the primacy over the Church is a meaningless formula. Conversely, if that dogma actually means something, it means that the Church cannot be without popes forever.

Bucky, you are a rude hate filled anti Catholic bigot. You are not following your Conscience but violating it. Once you know the necessity of Baptism, you can never be saved without Baptism, as Jesus Christ Himself taught in Jn 3:5 and the CcC confirms.

1. I was baptized ... and you are totally wrong. I have to "BELIEVE in good conscience" that baptism is necessary. 
2. The CoC says that I have the absolute right of freedom of conscience, AND that I must follow my conscience. 
3. YOU cannot judge that I am violating my conscience. Who the fuck do you think you are ?
As usual, you're dead wrong.  
Not surprising.
You're a heretic.
